The Voice Switch and the Sound Switch
Developed with InvoTek
The Voice Switch and Sound Switch are examples of successful technology transfer within the AAC-RERC.
Dave Beukelman, University of Nebraska and Tom Jakobs of InvoTek developed these tools. The Voice Switch has two primary applications: (1) to provide a switch closure to control assistive technology (AT) in response to sound production, and (2) to train sound production capability by persons with speech disabilities. The Sound Switch provides a switch closure for control of AT devices in response to sound production.
These devices can be used by persons with limited control of speech and voice but who can produce sounds with the larynx or voice box (e.g., people with cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, brainstem stroke, or nerve damage due to injury or surgery.) Each weighs less than a pound and is packaged in a plastic case. All controls are on the front panel, while the input and output ports are located on the top panel. Each has a removable belt clip and is powered by two AA batteries.
